Skechers Kids Also Wins Footwear Plus’ Excellence in Children’s Design Award for its New Collections and Innovations

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– For the ninth time in the past 15 years, Skechers has been honored as Company of the Year by Footwear Plus. Along with the top honor for 2020, Skechers Kids received the Excellence in Children’s Design Award, the fourth such accolade from Footwear Plus that the Company has won for its popular kids’ styles.

“After such an unprecedented 2020, it’s a great honor for Skechers to be recognized as Company of the Year,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “We began the year at full throttle building on the growth of record sales in 2019. When faced with the pandemic, we were able to pivot quickly to navigate this difficult year. Key to this was developing fresh product that focused on the comfort consumers desired, doubling down on e-commerce when stores closed, and investing in our infrastructure to prepare for the future. This was only possible thanks to the hard work, dedication, and resilience of everyone in the Skechers organization.”

Added Greenberg: “Skechers is a family brand that designs footwear to meet the needs and wants of people of all ages. We believe that developing shoes for the littlest of feet is just as important as for adults. Parents look to our boys’ and girls’ collections for durability, comfort, and quality in every pair, plus that signature fun factor that Skechers delivers best. In this year of remote learning, families turned to the brand they trust most, and we appreciate the acknowledgement of Skechers Kids with the Children’s Design Award for all our efforts.”

“Congratulations to Skechers on its Company of the Year and Children’s Design Plus Awards for 2020,” said Greg Dutter, editorial director of Footwear Plus, creators of the 22nd annual industry accolades recognizing excellence in design and retail. “Skechers was recognized because they were able to pivot, adapt and navigate a year that involved extensive business disruption due to the ongoing global pandemic. Their casual and comfortable collections were exactly what consumers wanted at just the right time. Plus, despite the challenges, Skechers continued to innovate on trend and in style with collaborations and exciting designs for kids.”

Skechers’ previous Footwear Plus awards include the Company of the Year Award in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2014, 2015, and 2019 and Plus Awards for Design Excellence in 2000 for Young Women’s Fashion; 2001 for Women’s Streetwear; 2002 for Kids’ Fashion; 2005 and 2006 for Men’s Streetwear; 2013 for the Running and Children’s categories; 2014 for Running Design; 2015 for Athleisure; and 2016 and 2019 for its Skechers Kids product.

Skechers is the world’s third largest athletic lifestyle footwear brand and offers a growing collection of footwear, apparel and accessories for every age and activity. In addition to the Company’s award-winning Skechers Kids collection, Skechers’ DNA spans core collections like Skechers Sport, Skechers USA and Modern Comfort; the philanthropic offering BOBS from Skechers; performance lines such as Skechers GOrun, Skechers GOwalk and Skechers GO GOLF; and Skechers Work for safety and comfort on the job.

The Company’s BOBS from Skechers Movement Has Helped Save and Support More Than One Million Shelter Dogs and Cats in the United States and Canada

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Skechers has reached an important milestone in its commitment to animal welfare by contributing more than $6.2 million to date to help save and support more than one million shelter dogs and cats in the United States and Canada. Through sales of its BOBS from Skechers collection, the Company’s donations continue to provide crucial aid to animals in need. More than $2.7 million of these contributions have benefited thousands of animal organizations through the Petco Foundation.

Through its partnership with Petco Foundation and animal welfare organizations, Skechers has donated more than $6.2 million to help to save and support over a million shelter dogs and cats in the United States and Canada, like Eggnog, adopted from Our Best Friends Rescue in Rockaway, NJ, and the rescues at Two Chihuahuas foster-based rescue in Scottsdale, AZ.

“From its inception, BOBS from Skechers was about giving back—first to children in need with new footwear, and then in 2015 to animals in need. It’s incredible to see how we’ve raised over $6 million for animals, including over $2.7 million for Petco Foundation’s extensive animal shelter and support network in just two years,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “To see us reaching these milestones in a year this challenging speaks volumes about our consumers’ engagement and belief in the BOBS movement.”

“Many people in isolation have been finding comfort in the unconditional companionship of shelter pets due to the quarantine. Pets change our lives for the better—and the past year definitely served as a reminder that they make our world a better place,” said Susanne Kogut, president of Petco Foundation. “Our partnership with BOBS from Skechers is essential as we continue to save pet lives through adoption, medical care and numerous other lifesaving initiatives throughout the nation.”

Initially a philanthropic collection of slip-on styles that donated new shoes to children in need, the BOBS from Skechers movement has grown to help protect shelter animals through a diverse collection of sandals, sneakers, boots and slippers, including collaborations with icons like Doug the Pug and James Goldcrown. BOBS has also expanded beyond footwear to offer apparel and accessories, from tops and bottoms for pet lovers to pet beds and harnesses at Petco.com. For every BOBS item purchased in the United States and Canada, a donation is made to the Petco Foundation to help save and support shelter animals through their partnership with 4,000+ lifesaving animal welfare organizations across the nation.*

The BOBS from Skechers collection is available at Skechers.com, Skechers stores and select department and specialty locations in the United States. To learn more, follow BOBS from Skechers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, or visit BOBSfromSkechers.com.
